    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    Well got home today and there was a package from 3DR patiently waiting on my doorstep. To carry the 4th battery, it has to be mounted on the solo in my case. Are there any issues with doing that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3DR using Alfa Antenna in their marketing?

    So does this mean 3DR supports the use of Alfa antenna boosters with the 3DR solo and confirms that we shouldn't see any issues should something happen? Interesting that they would show their own product with 3rd party antenna's on their own website. Drone Photography | 3DR | Drone & UAV...

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    Finally! Shipped and received a tracking number. Just an FYI, the website still says "processing" on my end. The CSR rep on the online chat was able to get me a tracking number instantly. So order placed on the 20th and looks like it shipped via Fedex on the 26th.

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    I received a confirmation email for my order, aka receipt. No fedex tracking number. You are right, I'm sure they received tons of orders for those batteries. Seems like their is no rhyme or reason of how they are coming in. You would think, a tech company would have their web store updates...

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    OKay 3DR is completely starting to frustrate me. Ordered on Saturday and nothing. No updates to the info on my account and it still says processing. Friend of mine that lives in the same town ordered his on Sunday and FedEx just dropped it off. He also received a tracking number on Monday...

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    Questioned the same thing especially after a buddy of mine who ordered on Sunday (a day after me) already received a tracking number. I did the online chat feature and was told all orders for this promotion will take 3-5 business days to process. Mine should be shipping by the end of this...

    Short video of my son driving a John Deere

    Thanks Chuck! Every time I fly and play around with video's I learn something more. Really looking forward to some nicer weather here so I can get out and fly over some nice area's and not just our fields or back yards! The crop is highbush blueberries. That's one of our oldest fields at...

    Has anyone boarded an airplane with their Solo?

    Friend of mine just flew Lufthansa to Germany. Took his Solo that was in a case, along with the battery and gimbal as carry on. No questions asked. Went thru X-ray and bomb screening and they sent him along.

    That by far is one of the coolest videos I have seen. Nicely done! Looks like it was a blast!

    Short video of my son driving a John Deere

    By all means I am not great on this video editing stuff but learning as I go. The weather has been crappy since I got my Solo, but this weekend I headed out to one of our family farms to test out some new equipment we purchased during winter. Decided it might be a good opportunity to fly the...

    Solo Battery Sale 2 for 1... to Sunday Only

    Weird. I did that to but when I put the code in, it gave me an error saying that it only applies to orders of $299 or more. So yes, put two batteries in your bucket and the code will give you a discount for the amount the second battery costs. Wish I had these now as it'll make my total at 4...

    Keeping a Log of Your Flights on the Drone Logbook Website

    Thanks for the reply! What a pain the ass then. Somebody tell them to stick a USB port somewhere on the Solo! When this happens, are there any issues where I can screw the Solo up and mess some files up? Also, being curious I looked around the Log directory and fund a subdirectory with BIN...

    Keeping a Log of Your Flights on the Drone Logbook Website

    Alright guys, tell me what I'm doing wrong or is the connection to Solo that finicky. I boot up the solo, boot up the controller, wait for both of them to handshake. I use my windows machine (laptop), I switch my wifi over to Solo and connect to it. Fire up Bitvise and log in. Terminal...
